Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Xena in Easton, PA

Xena is a happy 10 year old female born 10/01/15. She was given to rescue by her owner who had her since she was a 3 month puppy and sadly needed to go into assisted living. Xena adjusted easily to our home, likes her walks, has had zero accidents in our home. She will signal when she needs to go out. On visits to relative’s home, Xena explores every area available like she lives there. She loves all people and children.

Xena can be reactive to dogs while on walks. At that time, her usual pleasant pace can change to pulling and barking toward the other dog. She can have a similar reaction to dogs on TV! She hasn’t been exposed to another dog in the home, but probably would be fine with the proper introduction. We were informed she is cat safe.

Xena weighs 26 pounds and could stand to lose a little weight. She eats well, and you must resist overfeeding her, as she loves to eat! She can be a little beggar, but will give up, if ignored. She is in good health with no medical issues; just had a dental and is recovering well. It is suggested to use a wet wipe after poops, as she may do a carpet scoot occasionally.

She has been left alone for around 4 hours without incident. She will whine and howl for a short time when home alone, but does settle down after a while. She is crate trained and does well riding in the car. She enjoys laying on the sofa and watching TV. The best new home will have someone around much of the time and a fenced yard.

Xena is a wonderful, easy-going companion pup with a great disposition who has no bad habits or fears. She’s a sweetheart.

Dean in Norwalk, CT

Update 4-17-26: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

Meet Dean! He is as handsome as they come and equally loving! This pup is 6 years old, born 12/10/2019. He is very well behaved and it’s obvious he received a great deal of training. He is completely potty trained, comes when called, lays down on command and “goes to bed” when directed. In his previous life he slept in a crate with the door open. However, he has become quite fond of sleeping in the human’s bed. An entire flight of stairs is a little intimidating for him, but he has been brave and climbs alone now. At times he still needs encouragement and when he’s tired prefers to be carried up and down the stairs. Three-four steps are no issue.

Dean loves to be brushed, he likes the attention and the built-in massage. He desperately wants to please and is happiest next to his person, even finding comfort in a paw touch. Car rides are a breeze for him, as he just lays down and goes to sleep. Dean is very well adjusted and adapts quickly to his environment. He is a little cautious when initially meeting new people, especially men. It appears he has a bit of a negative history with men but he has overcome some of his fears, with encouragement. Patience will be needed as he navigates building trust in men.

Walks are his favorite, galavanting through fields while delightfully sniffing the emerging Spring flowers! He grew up in a home with a very young child, a cat and another dog and, I suspect, he misses them. He absolutely adores other Cavaliers and I am positive he would love a Cavalier sibling.

In true Cavalier form, he follows his foster Mom everywhere and cries when he can’t see her. It is imperative he be in a home with a human around the majority of the time. And even better if there’s another dog. Also, even though he walks beautifully on a leash a fenced in yard is always a plus.

He has been newly diagnosed with a heart murmur but no meds required at this time. He will will require monitoring. At 25.5 lbs, he could stand to lose a few pounds. Otherwise he is perfect!

If you are interested in adopting this sweet boy, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Michelle Farnum at cavalierrescueny@gmail.com so she can check out your application.

Megan in Middletown, PA

Here is Megan with her new family…

Meet Megan, a four-and-a-half year-old and healthy female Cavalier.

Megan has an endless amount of love to give and will be your BFF.

She likes to gaze into your eyes when she’s getting to know you.

Megan will be your shadow.

She follows her foster Mom EVERYWHERE she goes around the house.

Megan came from a farm in Lancaster County and was used for breeding.

Since coming into rescue she was spayed, microchipped and brought up to date on shots.

The vet said Megan has good eyes, good ears, good teeth and no heart murmur.

She is on the heavier side, however, and it would be good for her to lose a couple of pounds.

Megan gets along well with her foster family which includes another female Cavalier.

She likes to take walks on a leash and likes to ride in the car. She seems to enjoy being brushed and sits very still during brushings.

Megan is pretty much house trained. She goes out first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

She is very smart and learned the doggie door quickly just by watching her foster sister.

Megan is used to a fenced yard and has lots of energy.

Megan sleeps in a crate at night.

When she hears the words “time to go to bed” she jumps happily into her crate. She knows she will get a few treats before going to sleep.

Megan always likes to keep her humans in sight, so she will need a home where someone is present most of the time.

Some training classes to help with socialization and confidence would be good for her as well.

If you think you might be a good match for this little love bug and you live within a reasonable driving distance of Middletown, please fill out our online application if you have not already done so. Then express your interest in Megan by emailing Melissa MacMullin at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com.Online Application

Finnegan in Derby Line, VT

Here is Finnegan with his new family…

Are you ready for your new best friend? Meet Finnegan, a happy, playful, Cavapoo with joyful brown eyes and a mischievous spirit! Finnegan is looking for his forever family to provide him with puppy training, warm snuggles and endless love. Finnegan was born on 9-17-25, and shortly after, was released to the rescue through no fault of his own.

Finnegan loves to play with his toys, fetch and snuggle! Need help in your home office? Finnegan will gladly shred papers. Need help in the bathroom? Finnegan will unravel an entire roll of toilet paper just for you! He has mastered ringing a bell to go outside, sit, and being released to eat a meal. Finnegan is working on leash training and recall. He is treat-motivated and wants to learn. Since Finnegan is still learning, his new family should be committed to continuing his training.

Finnegan has started crate training and is doing well through the night with no accidents. He would prefer to be closer to his family. A crate in the bedroom helps him fall right to sleep. Finnegan loves snuggling and being with his family. Someone who is home most of the day is a must. Finnegan does well riding in the car and enjoys running errands with his foster mom.

Finnegan is currently living with two small dogs, two cats and two human sisters, ages 6 and 10. Finnegan loves everyone and will greet you with a large hug! He is working on his manners to not jump. He has done well in his foster home by watching and learning from his foster dog siblings. Finnegan will do best in a home with a playful, young dog that can help him learn the routine and schedule of his new home. Finnegan loves children, visitors and cats! He has shown curiosity towards the family cats and may chase. A dog-savvy cat would be okay. He loves being outside, so a securely fenced yard is needed.

Finnegan is up-to-date on immunizations and heart-worm/flea and tick prevention. Finnegan’s new owner will need to have him neutered at nine months of age (June, 2026) and provide written verification from his vet to the rescue. Finnegan is heart clear, knees and hips are good, microchipped and ready for a loving home!

If you are interested in Finnegan and feel you would be a match, please, complete our online application if you haven’t already. Then, email Barbara Blanchette at: blanchettebarbara06@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.
